This study was planned to investigate the physiopathology of bradycardia and hypotension that occur in some patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between the ages of 65 and 90 years when the tourniquet, which is routinely used in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is opened at the end of the operation and to determine the physiopathology of these effects of the tourniquet and how these effects can be prevented.
This study was planned to investigate the effects of lower extremity tourniquets routinely used in TDP surgeries on hemodynamics, SpO2, ETCO2 and blood tables in male and female patients aged 65-90 years. In the patients included in the study, measurements from the monitor will be recorded and preop and postop hemogram, complete biochemistry, coagulation arterial blood gases will be recorded from each patient's file and the values before and after the tourniquet will be compared. New randomized prospective studies will be proposed by determining the physiopathological changes (reperfusion syndrome) that occur after opening the tourniquet in patients and evaluating how these changes can be prevented
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
22
* Is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap. * In the surgical procedure of these surgeries, cement is used to fix the prosthesis.

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time(APTT)
The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is a screening test which isolates the 'intrinsic' and 'common' pathways of the in vitro coagulation cascade model. Coagulation factors and cofactors within each pathway operate in concert to generate a fibrin clot end-point, the time taken to form the clot being the APTT.

International Normalised Ratio (INR)
Measured value used to monitor treatment with anticoagulants and to provide information on how quickly the blood clots. INR value of 1 = no anticoagulation; INR value of 2 = coagulation is prolonged 2-fold; INR value of 3 = coagulation is prolonged 3-fold.
Time frame: Time 1:Preoperative 24th hour, Time 2: Approximately 10-15 minutes after placing cement during surgery, Time 3: Approximately 10-15 minutes after opening the intraoperative leg tourniquet, Time 4: Postoperative 12th hour, Time 5: Postoperative 24th hour
D-DİMER
D-dimer (or D dimer) is a dimer that is a fibrin degradation product (FDP), a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis.
